Iran Nuclear

Iran Nuclear, The head of the U.N. nuclear agency said on Wednesday he saw “no radical change” in Iran’s nuclear program in the past three months, broadly covering the period since relative moderate Hassan Rouhani became president.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told Reuters that the Islamic Republic was continuing its most sensitive nuclear activity, enrichment of uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent.
But his comments suggested that Iran during the August-November period had also not sharply expanded its uranium enrichment work, which Tehran says is peaceful but the West fears could be used to develop nuclear weapons.
In addition, Amano said Iran still had “quite a lot to do” in order to complete the Arak research reactor, a plant which is of deep concern to the West as it can produce plutonium, another potential atomic bomb fuel, once it is operating.
The IAEA is expected to issue its next quarterly report on Iran – a document keenly scrutinized by Western governments
